In this study we considered two different Ugandan communities, migrant and permanent, in which we analyzed the use of saliva and premasticated herbs and the local inflammatory reaction, as possible risk cofactor involved in the transmissionof HHV-8. Statistical analysis revealed that children belonging to both communities have been frequently bitten by insects, butamont the latter group, the use of saliva is larger than those among migrant one.
